Lesson - 26

About Allah the Most Great
Abu Mahdurah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) himself taught me the call to prayer (adhan). He asked me to pronounce: Allah is most great. Allah is most great. Allah is most great. Allah is most great: I testify that there is no god but Allah. I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), I testify that Muhammad is Messenger of Allah. Then repeat and raise your voice; I testify that there is no god but Allah, I testify that there is no god but Allah ; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him); I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah(peace be upon him); come to prayer, come to prayer; come to salvation, come to salvation; Allah is most great. Allah is most great; there is no god but Allah.
(Sunan Abi Dawud, Book 2, Hadith 113)

About Supplications
Qatada asked Anas (R.A) which Supplication Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) frequently made. He said: The supplication that he (the Prophet made very frequently is this:" O Allah, grant us the good in this world and the good in the Hereafter and save us from the torment of Hell-Fire." He (Qatada) said that whenever Anas had to supplicate he made this very supplication, and whenever he (intended) to make another supplication he (inserted) this very supplication in that.
(Sahih Muslim, Book 48, Hadith 36)

About Entering Paradise
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira (R.A) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: God laughs at the two men both of whom will enter Paradise (though) one of them kills the other. They said: Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), how is it? He said: One of them fights in the way of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted. and dies a martyr. Then God turns in mercy to the murderer who embraces Islam, fights in the way of Allah, the Almighty and Exalted, and dies a martyr.
(Sahih Muslim, Book 33, Hadith 188)

About Falsehood
Abdullah bin Mas’ud (RA) reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying: Avoid falsehood, for falsehood leads to wickedness, and wickedness to hell; and if a man continues to speak falsehood and makes falsehood his object, he will be recorded in Allah’s presence as a great liar. And adhere to truth, for truth leads to good deeds, and good deeds lead to paradise. If a man continues to speak the truth and makes truth his object, he will be recorded in Allah’s presence as eminently truthful.
(Sunan Abi Dawud, Book 43, Hadith 217)

About Companions and Neighbors
Reported by ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar (RA): Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “The best of companions with Allah is the one who is best to his companions, and the best of neighbors to Allah is the one who is the best of them to his neighbor.”
(Tirmidhi)

About Charity
Reported by Abu Hurairah (RA): Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “A dinar you spend in Allah’s way, or to free a slave, or as a charity you give to a needy person, or to support your family, the one yielding the greatest reward is that which you spend on your family.”
(Muslim)

About Allah
Reported by Abu Musa (RA): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever loves the meeting with Allah, Allah too, loves the meeting with him; and whoever hates the meeting with Allah, Allah too, hates the meeting with him.”
(Bukhari)

About the Sweetness of Faith
Narrated Anas (RA) : The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Whoever possesses the following three qualities will taste the sweetness of faith: 1. The one to whom Allah and His Apostle become dearer than anything else. 2. Who loves a person and he loves him only for Allah's sake. 3. Who hates to revert to disbelief (Atheism) after Allah has brought (saved) him out from it, as he hates to be thrown in fire."
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 2, Hadith 14)

About Charity
Narrated Abu Huraira (RA) : A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and asked, "O Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him)! Which charity is the most superior in reward?" He replied, "The charity which you practice while you are healthy, niggardly and afraid of poverty and wish to become wealthy. Do not delay it to the time of approaching death and then say, 'Give so much to such and such, and so much to such and such.' And it has already belonged to such and such (as it is too late)."
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 2, Book 24, Hadith 23)

About the Best of People
Abu Huraira (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying: You would find people like those of mine, the good amongst you in the Days of Ignorance would be good amongst you in the days of Islam, provided they have an understanding of it and you will find good amongst people the persons who would be averse to position of authority until it is thrust upon them, and you will find the worst amongst persons one who has double face. He comes with one face to them and with the other face to the others.
(Sahih Muslim, Book 44, Hadith 283)
